The results of these trials were conducted to prospective users by teachers at SD Muhammadiyah of Surakarta known to average 72% respondents agreed this application can help teachers finance and administration and user interface in this application is satisfactory
Atmospheric Acetaldehyde: Importance of Air-Sea Exchange and a Missing Source in the Remote Troposphere.
We report airborne measurements of acetaldehyde (CH3CHO) during the first and second deployments of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Atmospheric Tomography Mission (ATom). The budget of CH3CHO is examined using the Community Atmospheric Model with chemistry (CAM-chem), with a newly-developed online air-sea exchange module. The upper limit of the global ocean net emission of CH3CHO is estimated to be 34 Tg a-1 (42 Tg a-1 if considering bubble-mediated transfer), and the ocean impacts on tropospheric CH3CHO are mostly confined to the marine boundary layer. Our analysis suggests that there is an unaccounted CH3CHO source in the remote troposphere and that organic aerosols can only provide a fraction of this missing source. We propose that peroxyacetic acid (PAA) is an ideal indicator of the rapid CH3CHO production in the remote troposphere. The higher-than-expected CH3CHO measurements represent a missing sink of hydroxyl radicals (and halogen radical) in current chemistry-climate models
Forum: Feminism in German Studies
From Professor Wallach\u27s contribution entitled Jews and Gender :
To consider Jews and gender within German Studies is to explore the evolution of German‐Jewish Studies with respect to feminist and gender studies. At times this involves looking beyond German Studies to other scholarship in Jewish gender studies, an interdisciplinary subfield in its own right. Over the past few decades, the focus on gender within German‐Jewish Studies has experienced several shifts in line with broader trends: an initial focus on the history of Jewish women and feminist movements gradually expanded to encompass the study of gender identity, masculinity, and sexuality. Historical and literary scholarly approaches now operate alongside and in dialogue with interdisciplinary scholarship in cultural studies, film and visual studies, performance studies, and other fields.

Yoga jam: remixing Kirtan in the Art of Living
Yoga Jam are a group of musicians in the United Kingdom who are active members of the Art of Living, a transnational Hindu-derived meditation group. Yoga Jam organize events—also referred to as yoga raves and yoga remixes—that combine Hindu devotional songs (bhajans) and chants (mantras) with modern Western popular musical genres, such as soul, rock, and particularly electronic dance music. This hybrid music is often played in a clublike setting, and dancing is interspersed with yoga and meditation. Yoga jams are creative fusions of what at first sight seem to be two incompatible phenomena—modern electronic dance music culture and ancient yogic traditions. However, yoga jams make sense if the Durkheimian distinction between the sacred and the profane is challenged, and if tradition and modernity are not understood as existing in a sort of inverse relationship. This paper argues that yoga raves are authenticated through the somatic experience of the modern popular cultural phenomenon of clubbing combined with therapeutic yoga practices and validated by identifying this experience with a reimagined Vedic tradition
TRY plant trait database - enhanced coverage and open access
Plant traits-the morphological, anatomical, physiological, biochemical and phenological characteristics of plants-determine how plants respond to environmental factors, affect other trophic levels, and influence ecosystem properties and their benefits and detriments to people. Plant trait data thus represent the basis for a vast area of research spanning from evolutionary biology, community and functional ecology, to biodiversity conservation, ecosystem and landscape management, restoration, biogeography and earth system modelling. Since its foundation in 2007, the TRY database of plant traits has grown continuously. It now provides unprecedented data coverage under an open access data policy and is the main plant trait database used by the research community worldwide. Increasingly, the TRY database also supports new frontiers of trait-based plant research, including the identification of data gaps and the subsequent mobilization or measurement of new data. To support this development, in this article we evaluate the extent of the trait data compiled in TRY and analyse emerging patterns of data coverage and representativeness. Best species coverage is achieved for categorical traits-almost complete coverage for 'plant growth form'. However, most traits relevant for ecology and vegetation modelling are characterized by continuous intraspecific variation and trait-environmental relationships. These traits have to be measured on individual plants in their respective environment. Despite unprecedented data coverage, we observe a humbling lack of completeness and representativeness of these continuous traits in many aspects. We, therefore, conclude that reducing data gaps and biases in the TRY database remains a key challenge and requires a coordinated approach to data mobilization and trait measurements. This can only be achieved in collaboration with other initiatives
Corporate Social Responsibility and Millennial\u27s\u27 Stakeholder Approach
Corporate Social Responsibility has evolved in recent decades in professional practice and law. This was predicted in a seminal work by Howe and Strauss. This paper describes this evolution and illuminates millennials\u27 philosophy and attitudes as more aligned with stakeholder theory than stockholder theory. The predicted millennial upheaval, as posited by Howe and Strauss, is evidenced by strong belief statements as interpreted by the raters in this study
Status Report of the DPHEP Study Group: Towards a Global Effort for Sustainable Data Preservation in High Energy Physics
Data from high-energy physics (HEP) experiments are collected with
significant financial and human effort and are mostly unique. An
inter-experimental study group on HEP data preservation and long-term analysis
was convened as a panel of the International Committee for Future Accelerators
(ICFA). The group was formed by large collider-based experiments and
investigated the technical and organisational aspects of HEP data preservation.
An intermediate report was released in November 2009 addressing the general
issues of data preservation in HEP. This paper includes and extends the
intermediate report. It provides an analysis of the research case for data
preservation and a detailed description of the various projects at experiment,
laboratory and international levels. In addition, the paper provides a concrete
proposal for an international organisation in charge of the data management and
policies in high-energy physics

Understanding the impact of management strategies and relevant spatial scales on western corn rootworm resistance to Cry3Bb1
Transgenic Bt corn that produces insecticidal Cry toxins, such as Cry3Bb1, has
revolutionized management of western corn rootworm, Diabrotica virgifera
virgifera LeConte. However, insect resistance threatens Bt technology. This research
investigated the relationship of western corn rootworm to landscape-level factors by
examining local and regional spatial scales. Rootworm abundance, injury to corn,
resistance to Cry3Bb1, and field management strategies were examined in local
landscapes of previous problem fields (\u3c2.2 km) and in counties where previous problem
fields had been observed compared to counties where no problem fields had been
detected. Also, geospatial tools were used to quantify continuous corn growth in areas
surrounding previous problem fields. Rootworm abundance and root injury were similar
in problem fields compared to the surrounding landscape, and resistance to Cry3Bb1 was
uniform with slight variation in the magnitude of resistance. Previous problem fields had
grown more Cry3 corn in the past six years than fields in the surrounding landscape.
Additionally, abundance and injury did not differ between problem and non-problem
counties, and resistance to Cry3Bb1 was similar between county types. Management
strategies favored increased corn growth, soil insecticide use, and use of Cry34/35Ab1 in
problem counties. Geospatial analyses showed that areas surrounding previous problem
fields had grown more continuous corn compared to randomly selected point in the
landscape, and this effect was most pronounced within 1.6km of the field centroid. These
data present useful information for understanding relevant spatial scales of western corn
rootworm management in Iowa, and will inform future strategies for extending the
efficacy of transgenic technologies
